Chapter 23 Good Deeds(1/2)
Xu Rong didn't know that while he was leisurely attending the event, the Academy Art Committee held a large-scale discussion.
"Watou Club" has reached a box office of tens of millions!
Although the outside world is bustling, praise is coming one after another.
However, the Art Committee was not complacent by the box office and the praise from the literary world. As Zhu Xu said, only by maintaining caution and modesty and constantly improving can the classics be achieved.
The institute also took the opportunity to invite many unknown scholars and literary critics, such as Wang Bin, Mo Yan, etc. to visit the People's Art Theater, hoping to solicit constructive opinions and suggestions from multiple parties.
After the discussion meeting, the door was closed and the Art Committee held an internal meeting.
Dean Zhang Heping knocked on the table, looked around, and said, "Since you are here, then you should go back to the old issue, and talk about your own opinions on which scenes will be retained next year, which scenes will be launched, and which scenes will be rearranged next year.
The Art Committee is a special institution within the People's Arts. It is composed of the core forces and backbone elites in the arts of the Academy, and it also represents the highest level of the People's Arts.
Generally speaking, the director of the art committee is the president, and the deputy director is the vice president, the captain of the actor team or the director of the art department. All members are composed of directors, screenwriters and actors involved in artistic creation.
However, the art committee will decide which plays to create, which plays to arrange each year, the work evaluation summary, annual awards, etc., and the Art Department will be responsible for directly implementing them.
This system, which was determined at the beginning of the founding of the Academy, ensures to a certain extent that the People's Art Theater, as a public institution, can always maintain its leading position in the drama industry.
Pu Cunxi fiddled with the pen, heard the voice, raised her head and said, "Actually, to put it bluntly, is it just to rearrange the thunderstorm."
His tone was relaxed, but no one laughed in the conference room. There were five versions of the thunderstorm staged by the People's Art Theater, namely, the 54th edition, the 79th edition, the 89th edition, the 97th edition, and the 04th edition. But just like the talent echelon of the People's Art Theater, the early screenwriters representatives were Cao Yu and Shu Qingchun, and the actors were Yu Zhi, Zheng Rong, Su Min and others. Now, especially the younger generation, there are no particularly outstanding figures.
"There is no problem with rearrangement, but the key is, who will arrange it?"
Pu Cunxi looked around and saw that no one was saying a word. He coughed twice: "No, why didn't he say nothing?"
Yang Lixin understood the reason. No one knew what level Xu Rong was at. And according to the rules, he should start with a supporting role. Now he will play the leading role. If he has no idea, it is impossible.
But in essence, they are just hoping for it.
He straightened up and said, "Let me say a few words. Wu Gang greeted me privately a while ago. If Xu Rong plays Zhou Ping, he will play Zhou Puyuan."
"Is this kid crazy?"
"Hahaha."
After the laughter, Pu Cunxi felt that the atmosphere eased a lot and said, "Actually, everyone doesn't know Xiao Xu's situation very well. Let me say a few words. Everyone thinks he is very popular now, but in fact he is not as good as us. He lost a lot of money in stock trading and was carrying tens of millions of debts. We must understand this too."
Song Dandan's eyes widened a little: "Oh, there's something going on, but it's normal to think about it. He has only been popular for two years and hasn't heard of accepting several endorsements. And it seems that the family conditions are not very good. I guess I can't say it's rich."
As an advisor to the art committee, Lan Tianye also sighed: "Every family has difficult scriptures. It is not easy for children. Don't force them too hard to delay their earnings and paying off their debts. Do your ideological work well. If you are not happy with this kind of thing, you will not be able to use it even if you whip him with a whip."
After a few seconds of silence, Zheng Rong said: "Len Ming and I will come to the roster. If Wu Gang comes, you can try it."
"Wow, the old man is going out of the mountain."
Zhang Heping looked at Zheng Rong in surprise. Although the old man often came to the yard since he retired, it was the first time that he took the initiative to take care of his work.
The older generation has the idea of the older generation, so they can ask for guidance, but they will never interfere.
However, Xu Rong was mainly collected by Zheng Rong and Pu Cunxi. It was reasonable that he took over this job on his own initiative.
Pu Cunxi glanced at Zheng Rong and said, "That's all for me. It's just right to play against Li Xin to see who we are in the ranks."
"Hahaha."
"The next question is, since it is the youth version, how to choose the actors? Wu Gang has participated, so let Xiuqing come over?"
Zheng Rong waved her hand and said, "She can't do it, it's the youth version. Xu Rong stands with her. The audience will get out of the show. Try to find young people as if they want to practice."
Zhang Heping pondered for a while and said, "Teacher Zheng, Ren Ming, if that's the case, I think we'll still be a platoon, Central Opera, and Chinese dialect. If you choose, give me the list and I'll borrow someone."
"This is a good idea, and the choice is a little wider."
Pu Cunxi suddenly thought of a question and asked: "Everyone, wait a minute, there is something to do. Will Xiao Xu be fully scheduled next year?"
Zhang Heping slapped his forehead suddenly and said, "I remembered that I heard Lao Han mention it two days ago. That kid is going to star in a New Year film."
Zhu Xu said without thinking: "That's all you need to replace him!"
Zhang Heping smiled but did not respond. As the general planner, he could indeed replace Xu Rong, but it was easy to change. If a person is in Cao's camp and indulge in Han, he is unwilling to accept it, then it would be a big deal.
Liang Guanhua saw a few people chatting, and was about to make up the matter, put forward his opinions, and said, "I don't agree with the proposal of the platoon. The main reason is that he is worried, that is, if we have such a big battle, what if we don't arrange it and lose our hands?"
If you are an actor in the theater, you will close your door and arrange it quietly. No matter whether it is well or not, you can hold it. It is easy to say that the two families are in the same mood and can be considered one. However, this little brother from Guodian faces his face and does not make a small arrangement, and it will not be very good if he loses his face.
Li Liuyi, who had a round head and face, also opposed: "I think what Guanhua said makes sense. The bigger the situation, the more difficult it is to go back and end. It's better to do this. The actors are still in our academy. It's really not possible. Other groups squeeze in, and those with low attendance rate should stop first."
Pu Cunxi thought about it and thought the two of them made sense, and said, "You said this, it made me feel overwhelmed. I recruited people. If it doesn't work, I have to send them out when I look back."
If you can't arrange it, it means that the style cannot match the People's Art Theater, and it doesn't make any sense to stay.
"This is not simple. I just told the public that he was busy and voluntarily resigned."
"It's good."
Finally, Zhang Heping turned his head and said to Pu Cunxi: "Old Pu, your burden is very heavy."
Pu Cunxi was about to get up when he heard Zhang Heping's words, he sat back and asked, "What does it mean?"
"He hasn't responded yet."
"What's the thing?" Pu Cunxi looked at Zhang Heping laughed and said, "We have been here for a long time. What's the most important thing?"
Zhang Heping smiled and said, "I went to the crew one by one to bring people back. Now Ren Ming has taken on the director's burden. You are the vice president, who will not go?"
"No, I, but..."
Ren Ming immediately raised his hand and said, "I agree."
"I agree, too."
"I agree, too."
“…”
Pu Cunxi looked around, especially looking at the smiling expressions of a group of people. What a good guy, he had already planned to wait for him.
"Okay, I'll go."
He picked up his book, got up, and arrived at the door, turned around and said, "But first talk about it. Anyway, it's not my own business. I will retire in two years. Dean, I will be scolded by myself at that time."
"Hahaha."
After the meeting, Pu Cunxi sat in the office and fell into deep thought.
He has visited Xu Rong's graduation performance. Although he is not very familiar with the stage, in his opinion, he should be able to perform after three or five years of training.
At that time, he happened to retire, and he had an explanation for both his predecessors and his juniors.
Perfect!
But he saw that Xu Rong was like a loach, with his thoughts and consciousness in his mouth, but once he talked about the specific time of rehearsal, he immediately suffered a lot of bitterness.
Alas, Teacher Lan Tianye is right, every family has a difficult sutra to recite. Don’t look at the scenery in front of others, what is like after others? Who knows?
After being bored in the office for a long time, he really came up with a trick.
After making up his mind, he immediately picked up his cell phone and dialed Xu Rong's phone number without any hesitation.
"Hey, Xu Rong, it's me, Pu Cunxi, where is it?"
"I'm going to the crew, so fast, don't you say it will take two days?"
"Oh, oh."
Pu Cunxi responded twice, remembering that Zhang Heping also ran to the crew of "Tangshan" and forced Xu Fan back. He asked casually: "Where are you filming?"
"Foreign? Run so far?" he sighed, "Okay, let's talk about it when you come back."
After hanging up the phone, Pu Cunxi immediately ran to the archives room.
A foreign country who saw the ghost!
As an actor of the People's Art Theater, Xu Rong needs a certificate from his unit when he goes abroad!
This guy is hiding from him!
From Xu Rong's file, he found that this guy was also very terrible. When filling in the address, he only filled in the building number, but did not write any unit or household.
Is this what I have been guarding against myself for a long time?
When he drove the car, he arrived at the entrance of the community. Looking at the eaves hidden among the lush forests, his mouth couldn't help but widen.
After confirming it repeatedly, I was sure that I had not gone to the wrong place.
But these little villas are the places where people who owe tens of millions of debts live?
No wonder there is no unit number and account number.
The security guard at the door saw him leaning forward in front of the door for a long time, walked over and asked, "Hello, who are you looking for?"
"I'll look for Xu Rong."
The security guard looked at Pu Cunxi, who was about to walk in, pointed at him and said in surprise: "You, you are not that, that..."
"Pu Cunxi."
"Yes, yes." The security guard smiled suddenly, but then his face slightened and he reached out to stop him, "You are not the owner of this community, so you can't enter."
"I'm here to find Xu Rong, is he living here?"
